I sink in by my temples and had juvederm injected yesterday. I have a half dollar size lump that looks like an ugly growth. Drs office said give it time. Is this normal?
Answer: Lump in temple after Juvederm injection There can be swelling for several days in any area treated with Juvederm, and since the temple has such thin skin, it is not uncommon to get some swelling there. You could try using some ice packs on the area for a day or two but the swelling should go down with more time. I would wait at least a week to see how it looks and contact the physician who treated you if you feel it has not resolved.

Answer: Swelling and bruising is a normal side effect after injecting filler. Swelling and bruising is a normal side effect after injecting filler. Sleep with your head slightly elevated to decrease swelling and use cold compresses 10 mins on and 10 mins off. Schedule a follow up with the injector if you are still concerned after 2 weeks. However, if this does not resolve or new symptoms appear seek attention from your Dr.

Answer: Injectable fillers I think it's reasonable to massage the area and give it time. There is certainly swelling as the filler absorbs water. This should subside in a few days. If it's still large and bothersome talk to your doctor about injecting a filler dissolving agent minimally to get some swelling down.

Answer: Swelling after Juvederm injection The swelling is likely related from the minor trauma caused by injection of Juvederm. If it doesn't resolve in 10-14 days you should follow up with your surgeon. If the swelling gets worse or is associated with increasing pain you should see your doctor immediately as these may be signs of a more serious condition.

Answer: How to inject Juvederm and other fillers in the temples It is possible that you have bruising and or swelling and I would give it up to 14 days to resolve. If it doesn't, its possible that the Juvederm was injected too superficially and should be removed with Wydase.The best technique for temple injections, and also the safest, is to inject deep to the muscle. There is less risk of bruising and swelling. More importantly, if fillers are injected superficial to the temporalis muscle, it can bulge out with each chewing motion as the muscle pushes the filler outward. This is most important when using Juvederm Voluma in the temples.Ran Y. Rubinstein, MD
